Grepr is an intelligent observability engine that sits between your agents and observability platform to optimize, analyze, and route data in real time. By using machine learning and a rules engine, Grepr detects patterns in data streams, holds back noisy or repetitive information, and forwards only essential summaries or unique messages. With a simple configuration change, it integrates seamlessly into existing systems—helping teams cut observability costs by up to 90%, retain data long-term, and make observability insights available for business reporting and AI.
